Elements uptake by metal accumulator species grown on mine tailings amended with three types of biochar
Mine tailings are of great concern due to the risk their toxic inorganic elements pose to the environment. The application of biochar as an amendment may be a solution to reduce the risk of pollutant diffusion. The main purpose of the research was to verify the effects of different types of biochar...

Mine tailings are of great concern due to the risk their toxic inorganic elements pose to the environment. The application of biochar as an amendment may be a solution to reduce the risk of pollutant diffusion. The main purpose of the research was to verify the effects of different types of biochar produced from different feedstocks (pruning residues, fir tree pellets and manure pellets) on changing the substrate conditions to promote plant growth for the phytostabilization of mine tailings. The SEM/EDX characterization showed different structures in terms of porosity and granulosity as well as the element composition. The plants used in the pot experiment were Anthyllis vulneraria subsp. polyphylla (Dc.) Nyman, Noccaea rotundifolium (L.) Moench subsp. cepaeifolium and Poa alpina L. subsp. alpina.
